FEC to Host May 22 Seminar/Webinar for Trade Associations,
Membership and Labor Organizations and their Political Action Committees

The Commission will hold a seminar for trade associations, membership and
labor organizations and their political action committees (PACs) at its
Washington, DC, headquarters on Wednesday, May 22, 2013. The seminar will also
be offered as a webinar for those who cannot attend in person. Commissioners and
staff will conduct a variety of technical workshops on the federal campaign
finance laws affecting these organizations and their PACs. Workshops are
designed for those seeking an introduction to the basic provisions of the law as
well as for those more experienced in campaign finance law. To view the agenda
